TD 11

Question 1

Land As Soon As Possible

Answer 1

Land without delay to the nearest suitable area (i.e. open field) in which a safe approach and landing is reasonably assured. (The PRIMARY CONSIDERATION is to ensure the survival of the occupants. )

Question 2

Land As Soon As Practicable

Answer 2

The landing site and duration of the flight are at the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest approved landing area is not recommended. (The PRIMARY CONSIDERATION is the urgency of the emergency.)

Question 3

AutoRotate

Answer 3

The term autorotate is defined as adjusting the flight controls as necessary to establish an autorotational descent and landing.

 Collective - Adjust as req. to maintain rotor RPM    
                       (90-107%)
 Pedals - Adjust. crab or slip as req. 
 Throttle - Adjust as necessary. Close as req. 
 Airspeed - Adjust as req.

Question 4

Emergency ShutDown

Answer 4

The term Emergency Shutdown is defined as engine shutdown without delay.

 Throttle - CLOSE
 Fuel Valve Switch - OFF
 Battery Switch - OFF as desired. Before turning the battery switch off during an in-flight emergency, the pilot should consider a “Mayday” call, selecting emergency on the transponder and effects of total electrical failure.

Question 5

Engine Failure - Hover

Answer 5

AutoRotate
Emergency Shutdown - accomplish after
landing

Question 6

Engine Starting

Answer 6

During starting N1 does not reach 58% in a total time of 45 seconds (or 60 seconds below 10C), close throttle and press starter button until TOT is below 200C. If engine fails to start on 3rd attempt, abort start and make entry on DA Form 2408-13-1. Starter engage limits above do not apply to engine starting limitations should abort start procedure necessary.

Question 7

Rotor Limits

Answer 7

90% minimum operation
50%-60% accelerate through this range
90%-107% normal operation
107% maximum

Power on Transient Rotor Droop Limit is 95% (5 seconds maximum)

Question 8

TOT Gauge

Answer 8

Note: The red warning light illuminates when either of the following conditions are exceeded: 810c to 927c for 10 seconds, or higher than 927C

100 to 738C continuous operation
738 to 810C Take-Off PWR range (5 minute limit)
810 max
810 to 843C, 6 second transit (not to be used intentionally)

927C maximum during startup and shutdown (10 second maximum)

Question 9

Engine Oil Pressure

Answer 9

50 psi min below 78% N1
90 psi min from 78%-94% N1
115 psi min above 94% N1 (double wide arc)

50 psi Minimum, 130 psi maximum

Note: During cold temp operation the oil pressure may exceed the max 130 psi. Stabilize the engine at idle speed of 60%-64% until the engine oil temperature is above 0C and the engine oil pressure is within normal limits

Question 10

Torque meter

Answer 10

0% to 85% continuous ops
>85% to 100% take-off power range (5 minute limit)
100% Maximum

Transient TQ limit is 100% to 110% (5 sec maximum) intentional use is Prohibited
